Apples & A Belly

When Kami asked me to do her pregnancy session I knew she'd let me do whatever crazy thing I came up with, being that I've known her for such a long time. And I think we scared her husband a bit when he come home to find a studio light set up in his dining room. But his part was pretty painless, so he got off easy. Poor Kami had to hold those baskets of apples forever. She was good to me by being so trusting. Hope she lets me do a newborn session!

Trip to Utah

This morning my parents came over VERY early and picked up my son and I to drive to Provo, Utah.

My grandparents live in Provo (just south of Salt Lake City), so we came to visit them. The drive up gave us such a beautiful sunrise and lovely skies! I'm not a morning person so I don't catch a sunrise that often. The farther we got north the more clouds and fog come in. Just outside of St. George, Utah we saw this view of Pine Mountain with the clouds hugging the mountain. Such nice contrast between the white snowy mountain and the red desert.

This is where we stopped to stretch out legs, a must when traveling with a 3 year old. My dad found some rocks to climb, which as a avid rock climbing guru, he always seems to find.

These are just some bones of old deer road kill, but I thought it was kind of beautiful.

Try New Things for a New Year

So with the beginning of this new year I tried something new. I handed my 3 year old son my camera. I just set the camera for him and told him to take my picture. I think it worked out pretty well and we had a lot of fun. My little protege. He took all the images above (except for center pomegranate).

So I offer a challenge for this new year. Try something new this week, something you've never done before. Tell us about it by posting a comment.

Pat & Katie's Wedding

Just like I promised, images of Pat & Katie's wedding. Pat & Katie wedding was perfectly planned, they had all the wedding aspects that were important to them and none of the fluff. Getting married at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino just a week before Christmas, they had just immediate family and very close friends in attendance. After the ceremony we had time to walk around outside by the fountains and  through the hotel before heading to their intimate reception at their lovely hotel suite. 

The so gorgeous, Katie, getting ready kept asking if she looked OK. Silly girl doesn't know how beautiful she is.

I love this, their first kiss as man and wife. Pat looks so happy that he gets to kiss her.


This is the front of the Bellagio where we are waiting for the fountain show to start. And I need to give a shout out to Katie's friend, Bree, who walked all around the hotel with us in very high heel helping to carry stuff. Thanks Bree!

Katie was so trusting. She let me put her on the floor and sit high on the rail above a steep drop. I just love it that both Pat & Katie were so willing to let me try all kinds of fun images. These are a few unique ones I snapped in the corridor on the way back to the hotel room.
I left Katie & Pat wedding feeling really happy. Thanks for being so fun, and for a great time!
